Gold and Ivory Piped Anemones Wedding Cake Course – 3 Days

During this three day three tiered wedding cake course, we will teach you how to bake, stack and decorate a professionally finished three tiered wedding cake.

You will learn all the essential skills and detailed techniques needed to layer, fill, and cover a sponge cake with chocolate ganache, before covering with sugarpaste to achieve perfect sharp edges. You will learn how to cover both sponge tiers and dummy tiers, and how to stack your cake. You will also learn the techniques for making wired sugar anemones and arranging them elegantly on the cake, as well as piping a beautiful draped design with royal icing, painting in edible gold, and creating a gold moulded pattern to finish the cake.

This in-depth course will not only teach you how to make a professional wedding cake, but with our expertise and guidance, you will gain the confidence needed to create designs and creations of your own. At the end of the class you will have your very own masterpiece to take home.

In our friendly and relaxed studio, you are encouraged to ask us any baking and decorating questions you can think of. Rosalind and the team are always happy to pass on tips of the trade and industry know-how.

Please note, you will learn how to make a 3 tier version in the style of the cake design pictured (your final cake will not be exactly the same as pictured).
